You're in for a real treat if you're lucky enough to get one of Lynda's Havanese puppies. I waited and waited for months for the "right one" to be born, and was lucky enough to get Samson (pictured in front of the Milkbone box). He is absolutely the "very best" puppy ever -- but I know all of Lynda's adoptive moms feel that way!
Samson is so smart. He had me completely trained within five days! He told me where he was going to sleep (on my pillow), and to trust that he would use the pee-pee pad (which he learned almost immediately), and when he wanted to play (by bringing me one of his many toys, including the one he "picked"at Lynda's house to bring home). He knows to only chew his rawhide sticks, though he did mistake a book left on my bed for a chew toy. Then he was very sorry, and covered me in sloppy puppy kisses (one of Lynda's favorite terms) when I forgave him.
Samson comes with me to the office every day, has sat in his carrier through business meetings and elegant dinners, being very quiet and polite. Yet he can race around the house chasing a ball or an imaginary friend, making us all laugh. He's traveled internatinally (Toronto) and sat quietly under the seat, peeking out at me for reassurance. He thinks he's huge -- though only 4-1/2 pounds at five months. Everyone stops to ask about him, and I've given out your website many times -- which will only make it more difficult for others to compete for their dream puppy.
My vet -- who worried about "too small" puppies -- fell in love with him, and is very impressed at the strength and conformation of this little guy.
If you're willing to have a dog who is clearly smarter than you are, and more loving to you than you could ever be to him, then you really want one of Lynda's babies. And here's a hint: Yes, they look sort of like little rodents (sorry Lynda) when she first puts up the baby pictures. But if you wait until the next set of pictures when they start looking adorable, you'll miss your chance!
P.S. When you buy a puppy from Lynda, you also get a new, lifelong friend -- LYNDA!!!!

I first became interested in the Havanese breed when I saw one at a pet shop. Because I do not support pet shops (other than supplies) I looked on the internet to research the breed. I read everything I could find and came across Lynda's web site. I appreciated her unwillingness to ship a puppy. That told me she only had the pups best interest at heart. I waited my turn for a pup and she was well worth the wait. She has been everything that Lynda said she would be. She gave a "guestimate" of her weight and she was right. Her Majesty Midnight Star "Middy" is now 18 months old and weighs 4 lbs. She is a little terror. She loves people and other animals.She does not know she's a little dog. She's smart as could be. She has numerous toys all with names. If I tell her to get baby lamb (toy I sent when she was still with her litter mates) she gets baby lamb. If I tell her to go get Willy (another stuffed animal) she will pick out Willy. When she's barking (and Havanese's love to talk!) I will tell her, "Use your quiet voice," and her bark becomes a whisper. She loves to please. Lynda is an honest and responsible breeder. I could not recommend her high enough. Middy has attracted attention everywhere we go, and she loves to go everywhere with me. After Lynda left us at the airport I had someone who became so interested in her and the breed. I gave him and his wife Lynda's number. We live in Florida and she loves boating which we do every weekend. She does not like to swim. The hardest part is finding a life vest that fits her. Fortunately she has no interest in going into the water. I could not be happier with my precious baby girl. She's mostly silver with black points. I wanted a lap dog and she is a lover. You would not regret, nor get a better puppy anywhere else. Enjoy.

I had decided on a Havanese puppy to join my life and home. When I was looking for just the right breeder, they all seemed to say they raised the puppies in their home as family. However, I picked Lynda because she wouldn't ship puppies as cargo. You had to come and meet her to pick up your new puppy. I liked that. I haven't been disappointed. She kept me updated with information and pictures while I was waiting for Nike to be old enough to pick him up. After I picked him up, we went to the vet the next day. He gave Nike a very thorough examination and pointed out something to me and said "that is a sign of a good breeder". Nike is nearly 7 months old and I haven't had any problems with him. If I could afford it (and if I was younger!), I'd add to my little family from Lynda's puppies.

Lynda made the process of selecting and buying a puppy easy! She demonstrated a love for her dogs, and a love for the babies she sends out into the world! When it is time for me to purchase another Havanese (my little, all white Roy Boy may want a little brother soon) I will call Lynda first! Her descriptions were accurate, her babies were clean and healthy when we picked them up (our Vet said they looked fantastic), and her attention to breed lines and respect for “mommy size” makes me excited about Roy’s little brother. I can’t wait for my chocolate mini. Or maybe a red one. Oh, mini Havanese are addictive!

It took my two daughters and I several years to convince their Dad to get a family dog. After much research and talking with friends and dog owners, we decided upon a Havanese. Then, after continued research through the newspapers, pet stores, and internet, we finally found "Kansas Havanese". I was immediately impressed with the adorable faces of their puppies posted on the web. Furthermore, this is a breeder that truly cares about her dogs. The fact that we live in California and, Lynda would not ship, impressed me even more. It is quite a fun story to recount that it took 4 planes and 13 hours to get such a precious addition to our family.
Our dog, Samson, is quite a special creature. He has absolutely the most adorable face and expressions! Now 2 years old, he maintains a "puppy cut" from our groomer, which I definitely prefer! It's like having a perpetual puppy! Everyone adores him!! Samson has such a great personality, very friendly, extremely loving and affectionate, and tremendously loyal. Furthermore, he is so smart and very easily trainable. This dog has brought endless joy to our family! We have all realized the unconditional love that this sweet dog offers to our lives. Recently, a friend brought us a packet of "Havanese Dogs" stamps and, out of 18 pictures, our Samson was by far and away the cutest Havanese--hands down!!!
I would highly recommend Lynda and her puppies to anyone who cares about where their dog comes from and the conditions under which the puppy is first raised. Lynda has a compassionate heart!

Sox is doing great! He is the cutest, smartest, most lovable little devil.
Who would ever think such a big personality could come in such a little package.
He entertains us and himself for hours on end.
I swear he understands everything I say to him.
He is the neighborhood clown and has a very devoted following.
Thank you so much for him and your obvious devotion to your puppies
because it really shines through.
I am in LOVE with my fur baby!!!

I came across Lynda Denson through looking for cute puppies. I didn't even know what the Havanese breed was. All I knew was I loved the teddy bear looking dogs. I came across the Havanese breed, loved how they looked, and that was where the search began. I was still uncertain because I wanted a small dog. I typed in tiny Havanese and that's how I found Lynda. Lynda was very informative and didn't seem to mind my many, many, questions. I even had her measure her other dogs to give me a approximate idea of what size I was to expect the dog to be when fully grown. Through it all, Lynda was very helpful and patient with me. She really likes to know who get her little puppies because she not just a breeder, but like a mother to them. As a result I bought Lexus. She's just what I had hoped for and more. She's the size Lynda said, and has the greatest personality.

Lynda Denson is a fine breeder and has a true love for her dogs. Lynda's personal and professional attention to her dogs and to the families she places the puppies is stellar. Lynda does not let her puppies travel via air cargo, her puppies are clean and healthy with all the proper documentation. Lynda interviews the new parents to make sure the placement is good for them and the dog. She is extremely helpful in telling you what you can expect; there are no surprises in the transaction or procedure. Lynda still remains a valuable resource for us as we contact her for questions on food, diet etc. This has been a great experience. We Love our CoCo and made the right choice in the breed and the right choice in dealing with Lynda Denson.

We loved our experience purchasing from the Denson's as breeders.
They are very careful and caring breeders and seek out the perfect match for
their particular puppies. We were very lucky to be selected as an owner of
one of the three puppies from their first litter. We are still thrilled
with our beautiful black Havanese, Sirius Black, whom we purchased in
November 2003, and feel that the Denson's were inspired to wait for us to
come along to find him. He has brought our family great joy. He came
exactly as advertised with proper documentation and appropriate vaccinations
and paperwork from their family veterinarian. They breed and raise
beautiful dogs.

As the very happy owner of a regular size Havanese I began wondering if there was a "mini" Havanese being bred. I "Googled" mini havanese puppies and found Lynda Denson. The website intrigued me and communicating with Lynda confirmed that she was a breeder who was passionate about her pups. I really wanted a "mini" but fell in love with the picture of Finn who is expected to be a small "regular" .I flew to Kansas City in August to pick up Finn. He was not quite 3 lbs when I got him. He is now 7 lbs @ 6 months old. He is a top quality dog. He is handsome and smart and confident. We adore Finn and he has been a fantastic addition to our family. Finn has taught our 4 year old Havanese, Cooper, how much fun it is to be a puppy again. Although Finn will be smaller in stature than Cooper his personality is "extra-large"!

Hi, this is John and De from Colorado! After careful consideration we chose to
buy our teenie tiny Havanese puppy Dazy from Lynda Denson in September this year and got
to pick her up in October. Dazy is pictured on Lynda's web-site. Dazy is a very healthy,
happy, well adjusted puppy.Our Vet was very pleased with Dazy's health. We could tell
right away that she came from a loving environment. We have been very happy with Dazy as
she is so playful and full of puppy energy. We have been very happy with Lynda as our Breeder. Lynda is the type of Breeder that keeps in touch with her buyers and is very helpful. She also LOVES it when she is kept in touch as to the puppies well-being and progress, whether it
be by email or letters and or pictures! Thank you Lynda for being the wonderful, caring Breeder you are!! Keep up the great work you do for all of us and the puppies!

We had a great experience buying our little Lucy from Lynda. We could
tell from the beginning that she has a passion for what she does. We
received pictures; updates and information constantly which made us feel
very involved with Lucy from the time she was a week old. Lucy is over
a 1.5 years now and is a true joy, we continue to stay in contact with
Lynda as she always has time for an update on her babies or to answer
any questions. We would definitely recommend Lynda to anyone that is
looking for a caring professional breeder.

Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your professionalism. I have one of your precious puppies and several of my friends have puppies from you, too. The puppies are healthy and happy and you are wonderful to work with... always fulfilling every detail of our agreements throughout the entire transaction. In my opinion, you are the best of the best of Havanese breeders.

I would highly recomend Lynda Denson to anyone wanting to purchase a Havanese. I have purchased 2 puppies from her and have been extremely please with both of them. She is one of the most knowledgable Havanese breeders that I have ever been acqainted with and she always has answers or information pertaining to what ever I ask her. She will go out of her way to ensure that her puppies are placed in good, loving homes. The puppies futures are her main concern when selecting new puppy parents. Once again, you can buy with confidence when purchasing a puppy from Lynda.

I got your email today on the arrival of the new puppies. They are so cute. We have friends that absolutely love our Fidel. They are going to get a dog later in the summer but have always had Tibetan Terriers. I have encouraged them to get a Havanese. They said, "but it wouldn’t be Fidel." I sent your website to them, in case they are interested, and told them they might check with you to see if you had bred Bonnie & Clyde again, as they are Fidel’s parents. We wish you continued success with your puppies. One of these days we may even get another one -- that is after we get done cross country riding of our motorcycle!!
